What do economic simulations tell us? Recent mergers in the iron ore industry

This paper investigates the European Commission's decision to allow a merger between two Brazilian iron ore mining companies, CVRD and Caemi, using data on the Direct Reduced Iron pellet market. By using a simulation model, we can directly simulate the total welfare effects from the merger and hence evaluate the merger from a new perspective. The results from our simulations suggest that the welfare effects are negative from the merger between CVRD and Caemi, which supports the conclusion drawn by the European Commission decision. By performing different simulations between hypothetical merger candidates, our results show that only mergers between small candidates have the potential to be welfare enhancing.

Impact of microbial communities from tropical soils on the mobilization of trace metals during dissolution of cinnabar ore

Biodissolution experiments on cinnabar ore(mercury sulphide and other sulphide minerals,such as pyrite) were performed with microorganisms extracted directly from soil. These experiments were carried out in closed systems under aerobic and anaerobic conditions with 2 different soils sampled in French Guyana. The two main objectives of this study were(1) to quantify the ability of microorganisms to mobilize metals(Fe, Al, Hg) during the dissolution of cinnabar ore, and(2) to identify the links between the type and chemical properties of soils, environmental parameters such as season and the strategies developed by indigenous microorganisms extracted from tropical natural soils to mobilize metals.Results indicate that microbial communities extracted directly from various soils are able to(1) survive in the presence of cinnabar ore, as indicated by consumption of carbon sources and,(2) leach Hg from cinnabar in oxic and anoxic dissolution experiments via the acidification of the medium and the production of low molecular mass organic acids(LMMOAs). The dissolution rate of cinnabar in aerobic conditions with microbial communities ranged from 4.8 × 10~(-4) to 2.6 × 10~(-3) μmol/m~2/day and was independent of the metabolites released by the microorganisms. In addition, these results suggest an indirect action by the microorganisms in the cinnabar dissolution. Additionally, because iron is a key element in the dynamics of Hg, microbes were stimulated by the presence of this metal,and microbes released LMMOAs that leached iron from iron-bearing minerals, such as pyrite and oxy-hydroxide of iron, in the mixed cinnabar ore.     

陕西红碱淖湖底表层沉积物粒度特征

根据不同沉积环境的代表性和空间分布的均匀性原则,对陕西北部红碱淖湖泊表层沉积物进行了较为系统的采样和粒度分析。粒度分析结果显示,红碱淖湖泊表层底泥主要由三种沉积类型组成：湖心稳定的湖泊沉积、受入湖河流影响的河口及三角洲沉积、相对稳定的近岸沉积。粒度分布的多组分特征不仅指示了沉积物来源差异,还指示了其环境和沉积动力。平均粒径的空间分布特征可以指示湖泊底流的流向及动力特征。发现西部湖盆目前仍受入湖径流的影响,而东部湖盆则受入湖径流影响相对较弱。粒度揭示的湖泊底流特征,可以作为研究入湖污染物及其扩散规律的依据之一。     

老挝铁矿资源与成矿预测

经资料整理与实地调研:老挝已发现铁矿床(点)42处。重要矿床为万象省(P.Vientiane)万荣(Vangviang)铁矿、川圹省(P.Xiangkhouang)富诺安(Phou.Nhouan)铁矿、万象省(P.Vientiane)帕莱(Pha Lek)铁矿、甘蒙省(P.Khammouan)班农洛(Ban Nonglao)铁矿。重要矿床的矿体呈似层状、脉状产出,矿石质量较好,矿床属接触交代矿床、热液矿床。据地层条件、岩浆岩条件、构造条件、铁矿床(点)的分布情况,老挝划分出琅勃拉邦(Louangphabang)、孟佩(Muang Pek)、桑怒(Xam-Nua)3个成矿预测区。

通过对西藏自治区措勤县德能铜多金属矿的研究发现,矿区内共6条达到工业品位的铜矿体,并伴生有铅、锌、金、银等多种有益组分,成矿地质条件较好。矿体主要赋存于燕山期石英闪长玢岩岩体外接触带及构造破碎带中,其中Cu4矿体规模最大,经深部钻孔工程及地表槽探验证,矿体品位和厚度沿走向和倾向变化系数较小。燕山晚期第一阶段第一次石英闪长玢岩侵入体是主要成矿物质来源,后期北西西向断裂构造是主要导矿和容矿构造。     

中国矿山环境治理恢复保证金制度

由于中国当前的矿山环境保护政策尚不能从根本上解决矿山环境的主要问题,作为责任主体的矿山企业不能积极主动实施矿山环境治理与恢复。矿山环境治理恢复保证金是为了保证采矿权人履行矿山环境治理恢复义务而缴纳的资金。建立矿山环境治理恢复保证金制度就是为了贯彻"谁污染、谁治理;谁破坏,谁恢复"的环保原则,促进采矿权人在采矿过程中保护矿山环境,并确保在闭坑、停办、关闭后受破坏的矿山生态环境得到治理恢复的一项特别的经济手段和措施。实施保证金制度可以更好地促进矿产资源开发的外部成本内部化,是矿山环境保护必要且有效的形式。
